Nuke deal: NC to take decision today</b>
Srinagar (PTI): The National Conference, which has two members in the Lok Sabha, will finalise its stand on the India-US nuclear deal on Monday, party President Omar Abdullah, said on Sunday.
A decision on supporting or opposing the UPA government on the deal in the Lok Sabha will be taken at a meeting of party's core group on Monday, he told reporters here.
"We will hear arguments in favour for and against the deal at the meeting," Abdullah said.
"Since no voting has taken place in Parliament on the nuclear deal, the question of supporting or opposing it has not arisen," he said in reply to a question.
Abdullah said he held discussions with National Security Advisor M K Narayanan and various political leaders on the deal during his recent visit to New Delhi.
